Automotive Technology Degree Program

Associate in Science Degree

The automotive school at New England Tech offers an automotive repair-training program that provides students in-depth study and hands-on training using the same diagnostic, service, and repair trends as used in the automotive industry.

While both programs cover similar topics, the daytime Advanced Automotive Technology program includes more in-depth study and hands-on technical skills building – perfect for those who already have a basic understanding or have prior experience in automotive service and repair.

With either program, students study the design, mechanics, and servicing techniques of the many complex systems and components of today's cars, SUV’s and light trucks.

New England Tech adheres to the latest industry service and repair standards, uses many of the same tools and diagnostic equipment in our labs that our graduates will use when they enter the trade, and adheres to the curriculum standards established by NATEF and Automotive Service Excellence (ASE).

New England Institute of Technology participates in the Ford Maintenance and Light Repair (MLR) program which includes Ford Service Technician Specialty Training (STST) in the following areas: Electrical Systems, Climate Control, Brake Systems, Steering & Suspension, Tire, Chassis & Maintenance. Upon graduation, students will have completed the necessary requirements for the Ford MLR certification.

These Automotive Technology programs prepare student for careers in the $60B automotive service and repair industry. Graduating students are trained for entry-to-industry level employment and are technically capable of offering the skills today’s hiring companies are looking for.

Upon completion, students can continue their studies for a Bachelor of Science Degree in Automotive Service Management or Business Management degrees - an option rarely found in other automotive schools.
